In southern Italy, a heavily armed commando forced a cash-in-transit truck to a halt on Thursday. Several cars then caught fire. The gang stole three million euros.
The gang stopped the van with several shots during the morning rush hour on a busy road near Brindisi, police said.
Black cloud of smoke
At the same time, they set fire to several other cars, preventing any help from getting through. Hours later, a large cloud of black smoke still hung over the scene.
Perpetrator on the run
The perpetrators – probably eight to ten people – managed to escape. According to this information, no one was injured. The five employees of the security company were in shock.
The money truck was damaged. At least three other cars and a van caught fire. The road remained closed in both directions for hours, causing long traffic jams.
